Reviews For Eclipse of the Soul, the Sevitus version
Author's Response: Thanks for the review missny1. I'm so glad you are enjoying the story. Hugs, SHaria
I'm glad that Severus is so observant of his Slytherins and of Harry. I hope he'll realize that something is wrong. I can understand Harry's reluctance to go to Madame Pomfrey, but he really does need to. It's hard for Ron and Hermione to be so concerned but not be able to persuade their friend to look after himself as he should. I'm wondering if Harry's reluctance stems from a desire to punish himself for Sirius' death, low self-esteem from years of abuse, or simply a desire to have a fuss...probably a combination? Looking forward to the next chapter and more on the new professor too. Author's Response: I love reading your perceptions as to why Harry responded to the beating the way he did. Of course any of your suggestions could be valid; my own personal take was that Harry was acting like Harry- a Gryffindor who always puts the needs of others before his own. And yes- Channon. He's cool. You'll get to know him in the next chapter. Hugs, SHaria
Author's Response: Well thank you DS, I think. To each his/her own. I'm actually trying to go for a realistic approach (as far as that can be applied to a piece of fanfic which in turn is based upon a fictional world of magic). Aside from Severus and Harry developing a platonic relationship, I do try to follow canon but I also reserve the right to embellish upon JKR's groundwork. (But isn't that what HP fanfic is all about?) Thanks for sharing your impressions and I hope you give the story a chance. SHaria
Author's Response: Don't give up the ship, alifromnm! Wait and see what happens. Hugs, SHaria
Author's Response: Thanks KimSpiritTalks. Yes, I love that scene with Dumbledore and Harry and then the scene in this chapter with Helena. Sorry for the cliffy, everything will work out okay. I'll update as soon as I can. Hugs, SHaria
Author's Response: You are absolutely correct silverstargirl. Well, Crabbe and Goyle never were the smartest cookies in the jar. It's always easier to place blame elsewhere and I could see Greg chosing to blame Harry (who is the bad guy in their point of view) rather than thinking negatively of his own father. Greg is just being myopic and Vince is supporting his buddy. You are also correct that Harry should have reported the incident, but as we have seen time and time again in canon; Harry is always trying to handle things himself. Perhaps because he never really had an adult he could go to for guidance when he was young. But don't worry, everything happens for a reason. Hang in there. Hugs, SHaria
Uh oh, I wonder what Crabbe and Goyle have in plan for Harry. I hope he won't let it get too bad before he tells someone though it seems to be his character to not tell anyone until he has to. Now, that they're back at Hogwarts, I can't wait to see how all the additional people are going to factor in and how things are going to go. Good chapter, and I can't wait for more. Author's Response: Thanks for the lovely long review EllaEleniel. Just you wait, there's more to come. SHaria
Author's Response: Thanks for the review autumnamberleaves. I agree, it is no small thing. I'll get it posted as soon as I can. Hugs, SHaria |
